Haven't weighed myself, but at 1 month post op I'm still at least one dress size bigger than I was pre-pregnancy (was 10/12 now 14/16). Pretty sure I'm still retaining water. Don't want to diet as I'm breastfeeding and baby is gaining weight well, and his weight gain is my priority (so I keep telling myself while sobbing over my size 12 jeans that no longer fit)

I'm 7 days too and haven't even considered weighing myself they say in a normal delivery it takes the full six weeks for your uterus to go back to its normal size so no surprise really that us c-section ladies will have more water swelling ect, if I remember by the 6-8 weeks recovery I still had a jelly belly but didn't look pregnant any longer lol, I'm not editing either because breastfeeding so you already loose the 500 calories doing this so don't want to restrict my milk xxz
